Yawning of the Dawn
It comes all dressed in purple hues
A morning tiptoes into dawn
Watch how light glitters from the hem
This day that stretches with a yawn
Soon these moments fade to blue
Sweet dawn turns pink about the rim
This day that stretches with a yawn
Across the sky when light begins
This day that stretches with a yawn
Will bring a sun that's red and gold
The face of nature's blushing skin
With pastel colors day unfolds
To stand as witness to the dew
The morning springs alive within
This day that stretches with a yawn
Makes all the world brand new again
As day warms bright in morning's sun
I'll wait to hear the rooster's song
I'll drink my coffee, smile, drink in
This day that stretches with a yawn
